Give The Gift Of Life To A Family In Need
A Letter From Our CEO
Hi There,
My name is Diana Olmeda. In 1997 I chose to pursue a career in third-party reproduction after a close family friend approached me about becoming a surrogate for her and her spouse. She had a severe medical condition that prohibited her from carrying her own child. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated quickly and I wasn’t able to fulfill their dream.
I had two previous, uncomplicated pregnancies and loved being pregnant, so the thought of being able to give the gift of life to someone else was something I felt determined to do. I met with a local couple and became pregnant with their TWINS later that year. I felt surrogacy was my passion so, after months of research and meetings with industry professionals, I launched Surrogate Alternatives, Inc. in 1998.
Built from the ground up when there were only a handful of agencies located in the state of California,
Surrogate Alternatives has become known and recognized worldwide as one of the top rated surrogacy agencies in the United States.
The goal I had in mind when choosing my career path was to implement the strong morals and values I grew up with and build a company my employees and I could be proud to be a part of.
I have spent over 20 years perfecting the complicated process of building families through third-party reproduction, with the knowledge and experience I have gained and shared with all of my staff. I will always make sure my team puts your interests and needs as a surrogate first and gives you the personalized attention you deserve. I am confident in our ability to make your experience as enjoyable and as memorable as possible!
At Surrogate Alternatives, my surrogates are like family to me, I want them to feel like they are sharing in my success because, without them, I wouldn’t be able to live out my dream of helping others build their OWN families.
FUN FACT: I have been an egg donor 5 times resulting in the birth of 7 children around the world. I have also been a surrogate twice, delivering twin boys and a little girl.
If you qualify to be a surrogate for SAI, I would love if you would apply. We have the best surrogate program in the industry and actually CARE about our surrogates and their well-being.
Thank you,
Diana Olmeda

⚠️ ATTENTION SURROGATE APPLICANTS:
WATCH OUT FOR FALSE ADVERTISING! ⚠️
“How much does a surrogate get paid?”
With this question being the most searched phrase in relation to surrogacy, it’s no surprise that surrogate agencies try to attract first-time gestational surrogates by advertising hefty compensation packages of $100,000. The problem? It is false advertising! Yes, ethical surrogate agencies will always facilitate a fair compensation package for a surrogate’s sacrifice and time. However, some agencies run advertisements that state a first-time surrogate will make up to $100,000—which is extremely misleading, and most of the time, completely false.
Once the inquiring woman clicks on the ad, she is directed to a website where one of two things usually happens:
1. A more realistic depiction of what a first-time surrogate compensation package looks like is revealed; or,
2. The agency stands by its unrealistic claim that a first-time surrogate will make $100,000. As a result, the woman decides to apply to be a surrogate with that agency. Once she is accepted, the agency tells her that the intended parent(s) who were offering $100,000 have already found their surrogate. The agency will continue to lead her on for months until she is matched with new intended parent(s) who offer her half of what was originally promised, and she is tired of waiting so she accepts.
How do you know if an agency is ethical (or reputable)?
Finding the right agency to partner with during your journey can be a challenge, especially for first-time surrogates. To help you during your selection process, we’ve put together five main questions to ask yourself and/or the agency as you go through the vetting process:
1. Will the Surrogate Agency support me through the entire process?
Surrogacy is an emotional process—you need an agency that will help guide and support you through your entire journey. Look for an agency that offers support group meetings, retreats, and other opportunities for you to bond and connect with other surrogates. Make sure you also select an agency that is willing to act as a proxy for your intended parent(s) by attending major medical appointments and other essential milestones when the intended parent(s) cannot physically be there. At Surrogate Alternatives, our philosophy is simple: treat our surrogates well and care for them in the absence of their intended parent(s), because well-cared for surrogates mean happy surrogates and healthier babies.
2. Is the Surrogate agency transparent and honest?
The most important things to look for in an agency are honesty and transparency. When speaking with your agency, there should always be open communication, and all your questions should be answered with direct responses. You should never feel that you have been misled, or that the agency has over promised and under delivered.
3. Is money the driving factor for the agency?
Along with misleading surrogates about compensation, unethical agencies will try to nickel and dime intended parent(s) by asking the surrogate to start collecting receipts before she is officially in a contract so that she can maximize profit. While it is absolutely OK to expect compensation for your time and sacrifice, the agency should never ask you to expense things unrelated to your pregnancy. Additionally, ethical agencies will not accept intended parent(s) or surrogates based on money. Period. As we mentioned before, this process is emotional for the surrogate, and for the intended parent(s). Each party, including the agency, should have a strong desire to help create a family as the driving factor—compensation should always be secondary.
Lastly, an ethical agency won’t push a match on you. Matching is a lengthy process for a reason. The surrogate and the intended parent(s) should take the time to learn about each other and decide for themselves that they would like to match. Since you and your intended parent(s) are on this journey for several months, you want to make sure you’re with someone who you feel a connection with. Here are a few tips on how to get matched.
4. Does the Surrogate agency follow state and federal laws?
While this may seem like an obvious thing to watch out for, it is often overlooked. Reputable agencies will always adhere to federal laws and state guidelines. In addition, agencies should have their own set of best practices and qualifications for the surrogate and the intended parent(s).
5. Does the Surrogate agency have good reviews, awards, or recognitions?
When choosing an agency to partner with, it is absolutely vital that you pick an agency that has testimonials from past surrogates and intended parent(s). You can even go a step further and ask the agency to connect you with past surrogates or allow you to join one of their events or monthly support group meetings. Also, the agency should be a Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited business with awards and recognition from other companies such as American Fertility Association and SEEDS.
